Mr Osborne
We will set out the terms and conditions and the exchange rate of the bilateral loan when we agree them over the next couple of weeks, and I will bring that information to the House of Commons.
David Morris (Morecambe and Lunesdale) (Con)
I congratulate the Chancellor on doing the right thing in this instance—[Interruption.] He did the right thing. Also, as a result of the fact that we have managed the economy better over the past six months, we are in a position to lend to Ireland. The Conservatives’ insistence on not joining the euro in the first place has saved us from an even bigger bail-out package than we are having to contemplate now.
Mr Osborne
As my hon. Friend says, we are now part of the solution rather than being part of the problem.
